    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of West Virginia resulting from severe storms, flooding, landslides, 
and mudslides beginning on June 22, 2016, and continuing, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster 
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and

Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in 
the State of West Virginia.

authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and

Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDAs). Direct Federal assistance is 
authorized.
    Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is 
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for 
Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to 75 
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal funds provided under 
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also will be limited to 75 
percent of the total eligible costs, with the exception of projects 
that meet the eligibility criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing 
percentage under the Public Assistance Alternative Procedures Pilot 
Program for Debris Removal implemented pursuant to section 428 of 
the Stafford Act.

for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the 
Stafford Act.
